... that when Prince Edward's men, housed at Benefield Castle, stole cattle from villagers of Oundle, the villagers beat them back and recovered many of their beasts? ^[1]

Reviewed: No DYK credits yet, not reviewed any DYK

5x expanded by MistyGraceWhite (talk). Self-nominated at 12:38, 14 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Hello, and welcome to DYK. Here is a review: 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. However, there is one big block of text with all the cites at the end of it. Please add some paragraph breaks and apply inline cites to each fact (i.e. sentence or pairing of sentences).
Regarding the hook, it might be more interesting if we knew who Prince Edward was. Please link that. Oundle should also be linked. If you can avoid the repetition of "villagers" in the hook, it would be helpful. But in general, I don't find the hook wording interesting. Perhaps an additional or alternate factoid would make a better hook.
No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Yoninah (talk) 22:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
